Tattooed in His SIeep.

A disreputable case of tattooing is re-
ported from Agen, in France. Pierre
Bontemps, laborer, got drunk, fell down
in the field and went to sleep. After more
than thirteen hours he awoke and felt as
if his face had been bitten by a thousand
mosquitoes. He ran to drug store and
there, looking into the mirror, doubted of
his own identity. The face he saw had
the look of full grown South sea islander,
with tattoo pictures of the most artistic
design. On TIE forehead was displayed
the inscription: ''No chancew On his
right cheek appeared nude woman, and
another indecent picture ON the left cheek.
The doctors of the infrmary are trying
every means to obliterate the tattoo, but it
is doubtful whether they will be success
full. The perpetrators of the abominable
outrage have not yet been found.

cAN,r GO BEHIND THEM.

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In Iliustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
K. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from ITO Maryland
Avenue, Washington, D. C. In the first in
stance she states: 81 suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried ST. Jacobs Oil; had parts
pain gone, magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 224 Eleventh Street, S. W., as
follows: "Four years ago l sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
/ had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. | obtained q
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and after three APP
plications I was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present
have never had return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1851, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo-, writes: I'm March,
1881, 1 suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied st.
Jacobs Oil at SIS A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A. II. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
not had return OF it since" Mr.. E. w.
Spangler, York, Pa, June IL, 1887, writes:
years ago had neuralgia; am not subject 10
it now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful affliction.' Chas.
writes Twas troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
A Decided Debt-SettifDR Measure
Proposed for Legislative Action.

Capitol officers are not yet entirely
satisfied that there will be an extra
session of the General Assembly; but
they think it quite probable that the
Governor will call it.
II there is an extra session, the con-
stitutional amendment will be the fes-
ture OF interest.
What is suggested is to give bond
holders, say, twelve months in which
to fund their holdings into new 3's, and
to outlaw after that date all other out
standing Indebtedness.
Such an amendment, il agreed to by
this General Assembly. would have to
be referred to the next Genera Assem-
bly,, and, if adopted 10y it, would then
be submitted to the people at some
general or special election for ratifica-
ton or rejection.
1t could he put in force in less than
twelve months from this time.
There is difference of opinion among
leading Democrats as to the necessity
and probable efectiveI ess of such an
amendment to the Constitution.
While that is by no means the only
debt legislation proposed for an extra
session it is the measure likely to claim
most attention.
BY the 1st of May 100000 OF Ii
cense-taxes are due and payable to the
State. To keep this amount out OF the
reach of "the cut-worms OF the Trea'
sury" seems desirable, and this is the
most pressing reason given for an early
session of the Legislature.
The probability is that if an extra
session is called the revisers OF the
Code will hurry up their work so as to
have it ready to be acted on by it.
If the Legislature is to come here on
account of the license-taxes it will have
to come here by March 10Th.
